Why use CIDR instead of ranges?
While many systems support ranges, most networking equipment (routers, firewalls, BGP) and cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) use CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notation. CIDR is more efficient for routing table lookups and is the industry standard for defining network boundaries.
